Default b18b1 tune up

My b18 is running a little rough. There isn't any nocks or pings, but the engine shakes and its a little noisy. When I checked my spark plugs I noticed oil dripping down the threads of the plugs. Im guessing that its a leak in my valve cover gasket. Does any one know if that could be causing my engine to run rough? My 92 seemed way faster than this 94. Can someone please give me some advice to of what to replace on my car to get it running smooth again? I know this is not how a b18 should running.

The first thing I would do is get a valve cover gasket kit and replace the gaskets. My 97 was running rough and i had the same problem, spark plug hole was full of oil because of a cut o-ring. Ive that doesnt fix it you could replace the spark plugs, wires, rotor button, cap and even run some sea foam through it(https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=86584).

As far as the shaking goes, how do your motor mounts look? I had to change mine around 110k. They were hashed.
